This handy learning aid is great for children or for anyone wishing to learn the Braille and/or tactile alphabet. Consists of a sturdy 5-row plastic composing board with 60 tiles, representing each of the 26 letters of the English alphabet plus duplicate tiles for vowels and other commonly used letters. Makes it easy to form longer words and multiple-word combinations and sentences. Each tile is marked with a letter of the English alphabet in both capital and lower case as well as the letter in Braille. All markings are raised for tactile reading. Interlocking pieces snap together so formed words stay securely in place.
